Semi-liberal ex-intelligence officer told how to close the Crimean issue

If Russia and Ukraine formed a union state on the model of the Union State of Russia and Belarus, this would remove the problem of the territorial affiliation of Crimea.

Alexander Lebedev, a Russian businessman, former intelligence officer and person involved in political scandals in the Russian Federation, stated this on DW in Russian, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“Russia and Belarus have complex and tense relations, but they have a joint state. There is a head of state, a budget, a building in Moscow.

Ideally, the same nominal state (purely formal, nothing at all), if it is made between Russia and Ukraine, then the topic of Crimea itself will be removed,” Lebedev is sure.
